A 62-year-old man from Kano plains in Kisumu county is all smiles after luck knocked on his door to change his life, perhaps for good.

Joseph Onywera is the latest millionaire in the lakeside city after his gambling paid off dearly when he won a KSh 20 million Betway jackpot.

Onywera was overjoyed to receive the news of the win, considering he has been living below the poverty line ever since he lost his job as a fisherman and his wife showed him the heels for failing to meet basic needs as a family man.

Receiving the cheque from the betting company, Onywera narrated how he gambled not knowing that would be his turning point after walking a long, straight road with meanders, hills and valleys.

He went ahead to narrate how his life has been difficult and the reasons why his second wife ran away from him.

Onywera said that having dropped in class three in 1966, he started fishing along the Lake Victoria and earned something for his family and for self.
